The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Au 13e siècle, Baneuil appartenait aux d'Abzac. Au 15e siècle, les Calvimont firent probablement construire le corps de logis accosté de la tour ronde, agrémenté d'une tourelle en encorbellement au 16e siècle. L'accès au gros donjon du 11e siècle se faisait par une échelle qui permettait d'accéder à une poterne aérienne ouvrant dans une salle obscure qu'il fallait traverser pour se rendre, par un étroit oculus et au moyen d'échelles, aux étages supérieurs.

History
In the 13th century, Baneuil belonged to the d'Abzac family. In the 15th century, the Calvimont family probably had built the main dwelling flanked by a round tower, embellished with a corbelled turret in the 16th century. Access to the large donjon of the 11th century was by means of a ladder which made it possible to reach an aerial postern opening into a dark room which had to be traversed in order to reach, by means of a narrow oculus and by ladders, the upper floors.
